It is my fervent hope that my fellow voters will vote this year against the political retreads, such as Vincent Cianci, Frank Caprio, Ralph Mollis, etc. who seem to feel that they deserve election because they’ve been perennial hangers on. And they feel, I am sure, that losing an election most often means a position in state government at a handsome salary.

Cianci, I agree, is a master at schmoozing and is highly conversant about what’s transpiring in the “smoke-filled rooms,” but he is a twice-convicted felon. Caprio and his family members have been around much too long. Mollis has had his hurrahs, but he registered his concerns about 38 Studios suspiciously close to the primary.

Ultimately, we voters are the responsible parties if our state doesn’t recover, because right now Rhode Island is one sick patient and desperately needs a transfusion of new faces.
